Client Rating for Kenya 5/5 from 58 reviews

Good food, excellent staff, good value for money, pity about the location. Ilkeliani camp not in the best position on the mara, spent a long time driving to wildlife sightings  (Tribes reply:  Ilkeliani is quite central, so often in the thick of wildlife, though at migration time much of the wildlife favours the river areas).
